Twitter warns users of state-sponsored attacks

After Facebook and Google, now Twitter has alerted its users to falling victim of a state-sponsored cyber attack, a media report said here.

“The social network recently alerted some users that they ‘may have been targeted’ by government attackers trying to get email addresses, network connections and phone numbers,” The Verge reported on Saturday.

At least 11 Twitter users, who are working as mass surveillance researchers, security professionals, and (one) privacy organisation, on Friday, received notifications that their accounts might have been targeted by state-sponsored attackers.
